[Plugin] TT_Lib²

enigmatic

Matter is already made but I have made one more time. Did not do what may be?

You might have ended up with files in VirtualStore. If you open your Plugins folder, is there a button that says "Compatibility Files' or something similar (in whatever language your OS is)?

I think I tried to explain it, but could not tell. Sorry for my english .

Support for LibFredo's update checker has been removed. Install using the Extension Warehouse or the SCF Plugin Store to maintain a list of updates. They will also let you install updates, not just check.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Thomthom,

Just a note.
I was recently installing (through plugin store auto-install) either selection_toys or edge_tools... (or it may have been another, not 100% sure), and I was missing or had an outdated version of TT_Lib2, so it prompted me with a window to click and download the latest tt_Lib2, just that the version it was pointing me to was an outdated one.

I may have had tt_lib1 laying around in my plugins folder, which may have been causing some confusion... I really don't know, but anyway, for your info.

Great great plugins!!!

Hi Thomas
I installed TT_Lib2 2.9.1 and this message popped up;

After reinstalling TT_Lib2 2.7.1, everything works just fine again as usual.

tt_su

Hmm... must be some differences in the environment variable between Win8/7/Vista and XP.

Can you open the Ruby Console and give me the result of ENV.each { |k,v| puts "#{k} = #{v}" } ? Then I can make a patch for this.

Hi Thomas - I'm am having same problem with 2.9.1 - reverted to 2.8.3 and all is well. Here is my similar Ruby info you requested of irwanwr:

Thanks for the feedback. I think I have a fix - but I don't have an XP machine to test on.

I've uploaded a new version on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/tt-library-2/downloads

Can you try that and let me know if it works. Then I can upload it to the Plugin Store and Extension Warehouse.

Hi,

I have installed "TT_Lib_v2.9.1.rbz" and now get the message as shown below. I have full access to the plugins folder.
In the "virtual store" I can only find DEFPARAM_Dir and Fredo6Trace.txt and these exists in the plugins folder.

Thanks in advance for a hint.

Charly

tt_su

Maybe these files where created before you had full access to the plugins folder?
In any case, the files in VirtualStore should either be moved to the actual Plugins folder or removed.

micione

Charly same problem. (In SU8).
I have full access to the plugins folder.
And the folder "virtual store" is empty.

charly2008

Hi Thomas,

Previously I always had full access as an administrator. The Content from the virtual store, I moved to the plugins folder. The message still appears.

I have tried again with TT_Lib2-2.9.2.rbz but the result is the same.

I have now switched back to TT_Lib2-2.8.3.rbz. No Problems.

Being an administrator does not guarantee full security permissions to folders within the Program Files tree. By default everyone gets 'read-only'.

So you need to select the Plugins folder's icon:
right-click
context-menu
Properties
Security
Edit...
and give every entry FULL permissions
Apply/OK.

Also in the same folder as the Plugins folder find SketchUp.exe, select it and:
right-click
context-menu
Properties
Compatibility
Tick the 'Always run as administrator' box...
Apply/OK.

Also make sure that the Plugins folder does not have a custom icon - this is known to have subtle effects on permissions that report FULL but are really slightly reduced

tt_su

After you removed the content of the VirtualStore Plugins folder - did you also remove it?

(I might have to change the detection code to not raise a message if the folder exist but is empty. At the moment it will alter the user by just being there.)

micione

Thomas,
The procedure indicated by TIM has been active for a long time on my computer.
The folder "virtual store" is empty.
But the warning reappears always, to the opening of SU8.
Earlier Library, as well as all installed plugins, do not have
given problems.
In SU2013, the question does not arise. The thing does not happen.

Hi - 2.9.2 same Load Errors as 2.9.1 Tried change rbz => zip => unpacked => copied to "plugins" and also installed directly thru Preferences as rbz. Same results. Also deleting TT_lib folder and .rb before installing 2.9.2.

I guess the time is coming to change OS to something that doesn't require the use of hi grade metallurgical anthracite.

That's because the previous versions would simply check if there was a Plugins folder in the VirtualStore. It didn't check if it was empty.

I just uploaded a new version that checks if there actually is files there before warning. I think that should fix this.

Wait - these are different errors... don't think that is related to the VirtualStore.

All these errors refer to other plugins.
What's the output if you open the Ruby Console and type in: load 'tt_cleanup.rb' ?
